3-pentate-3. Actually pronouncing the up-arrows is generally too clunky for me.
How do you pronounce 3^(n)3, that is, 3 (n up-arrows) 3? “n-tate” works for simple numbers, but “3 (3 pentate 3)-ate 3″ isn’t exactly… comprehensible.
“3 hyper-n 3”. Note that the ‘n’ used in both the greek-number-prefix “n-tate” and hyper forms is actually “number of up arrows + 2”.
For particularly large numbers Conways chained arrows may be preferable, I’m not sure if there is a convention for pronouncing them.
